Wobbling Dec 2017 4:22pm, 30 Dec 2017 5,946 posts	0 Wobbling I have a prescription bit that clips into my Adidas evil eyes. And you can buy a range of coloured lenses for the evil eye. I had the prescription bit made by Vision express.

cathrobinson Dec 2017 10:32pm, 30 Dec 2017 6,309 posts	0 cathrobinson I bought prescription Oakleys from rxsport. Greppers, I went for transition lenses so I can wear them all year round - clear to dark or back again in no time. I bought new lenses this year as my prescription had changed enough to warrant it. They’re not cheap, but they are the dog’s danglies IMO.

richmac Jan 2018 11:26am, 12 Jan 2018 11,086 posts	0 richmac Coming in late. I looked at loads of options when I got serious about riding and Tri's. Eyes are so cattle trucked that I cannot get either prescription wrap arounds or clip ins strong enough, they cannot make the lenses thin enough to work. Only option was contacts. Long story short when I was a wee lad I tried 'hard' contacts it was a total disaster and was put off for years. 30 + years later fronted up to the challenge and had to talk the optician into it because the contacts are pretty flippin' thick to. Best option for me is monthly disposables. It took me a few hours to learn (bearing in mind this is one handed) to get them in and out, a few weeks practice to adjust and be competent, luckily I had the best lens buddy, but now few years later its very rare that I'm calling out for help! Essentially, get lenses,lifes better.
